Marilyn Manson is sued · 2007-08-07 17:28
Rock star Marilyn Manson is being sued by a former band member who says he is owed $20m in shared profits.
Stephen Bier, who played keyboards under the stage name Madonna Wayne Gacy, claims he was not paid properly over a period of almost two decades, BBC informs.
He says Manson instead spent the band's profits on a house, drug treatment and collecting Nazi paraphernalia.
Manson, whose real name is Brian Hugh Warner, told MTV the accusations were "really ridiculous".
"It just seems like another ex-band member suing me and trying to assassinate my personality as a means to financial gain," he said.
